LeBron James on why he hates Kawhi Leonard

LeBron James on why he hates Kawhi Leonard

It's hard to imagine Kawhi Leonard being a legitimate rival of anyone given his personality. He is as calm and composed as a Zen master. No trash talk, no flashy antics. He goes about his business like a silent assassin. Yup, you guessed it, he's like a younger version of his former San Antonio Spurs teammate the legendary Tim Duncan.

Heck, even Duncan himself starts to look like Kevin Garnett or Russell Westbrook when it comes to Kawhi. But don't be fooled, my friends, as that does not mean he doesn't have LeBron's attention.

This rivalry started to brew ten years ago when LeBron's Miami Heat clashed with Kawhi's San Antonio Spurs in not one, but two consecutive NBA Finals. Now, back then, Leonard was just a fresh-faced, 22-year-old kid, barely known outside Texas.

Why Does Everyone Hate Kawhi Leonard?

[BallBoyBob]

He takes half of the regular season off to be healthy for the playoffs just to be injured in the playoffs

[stump]

Its funny Lebron destroy the Raptors in 2018. And then Kawhi led pretty much the same Raptors to the Championship a season after. Funny as frick.

[DB_Cooper.]

Basic fact that K's Raptor career lasted one season. It was bittersweet. But it was an amazing single season.

[VeiVictis]

That's why Kawhi and Jokic are the what role models should be. Do your job well and keep your opinions to yourself. Let your your work and work ethic speak for you.

[jseay]

Kawhi said he was an Allen Iverson fan . He said that out his own mouth . Not saying he couldn’t like or be a fan of MJ or other players. But when asked, he himself said he was a fan of Iverson . 👀👀

[yaweli]

Fun fact: in 2013, the Miami heat didn’t beat the Spurs. Kawhi Leonard handed them the chip. He just needed to make at most 1 free throw to take them to OT in game 7. If he had hit all free throws, the Spurs would have been champions. Let’s be honest, the Heat were damn lucky to win that chip. All the stars had to line up for them. Fast forward the next season, they were humiliated. Spurs were just on another level.LBJ said Leonard was overrated until he locked James up the next series. Bron was like -“yeah, my apologies, the hype is real.”

Kawhi aims at winning ; lebron aims to not losing

[Thoopy]

First of all why is kawhi being put in this Jordan or lebron situation Jordan is on ah whole nother planet..I don’t understand this..but I’ll say this kawhi has shut down every superstar in his era from Lebron to giannis an everyone in between just go look..peace an blessings

[MattStevens]

Kawhi is an MJ fan, chose to train with Kobe, definitely told coach Pop he don't want to be traded to the Lakers, chose a known guy who guards LeBron too (Paul George) as a teammate so I'm sure Leonard wanted to be the antidote instead of an add-on to James. And we LOVE him for it!

[TsDomain]

Kawai did not get 2 championships in toronto..

[hoodie_bron]

Why did you say kawhi won 2 as a raptor? That’s probably the easiest thing to remember since he was there for ONE year 💀 you can look things up before posting the video not meaning to be rude but damn 😭

[jimreadey]

3:28 Why would you claim that Kawhi brought Toronto "not one, but two" championships? It happened in 2019, and it was *one and done.*

[alancano]

Kawahi Leonard is best and clean to play.

[roderickbuckner]

The claw is healthy this year and look at what he is doing

[MichaelLindsey-xheq]

Also one reason why iam a Westbrook fan from his college days and on an then Lebron and them tried to scapegoat him the last 2 years look at Westbrook now 8:39

[GreenPasturesFinancl]

I like it when kawhi slams on an opponent its so unexpected.🏀🏀🏀

[bibiboi]

Perk should stop poking the bear on this one. If Terminator gets healthy and is able to play, the whole league is in serious trouble.

[thomastalented]

NBA luck is RUNNING won't be hurt forever 👀😎

[MichaelLindsey-xheq]

Yeah when stuff don't go well for the Lakers Lebron likes to blame and gets player's traded 8:39

[alhoward]

Kawhi appears to avoid "small talk" and allows his game to do the talking. He's leads the Clippers by example and is thoroughly entertaining watch. I don't know what more one would need from an athlete...SMH
